THE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.
The Second Days Inquiry Bring Forth
Nothing Startling.


WESTON, w. VA, February 17.-The
second day of the hospital investigation
brings out nothing especially disiavorable
towards the Superintendent, DIR. Bland.
The first witness called after dinner was
Joseph Gibbs, of Wheeling, who testified
that the management of affairs at the In
sane Asylum was conducted in first class
style aS far as he waScompetent OF Judging.
DIR. Bland was afterwards called and
testified that according to his judg-
ment the patients were allowed
ample time for sleep, notwithstanding
that many testified that they were aroused
too early for their own benefit. DIR. Bland
also stated that he would approve Of add
ing three females to the Board OF Directors
1t was satisfactorily proven that stmi-
annually this Board makes thorough
inspecting tour of every ward in the build
ing, and that the proper reports are made
to the proper authorities. DIR. Bland says
that he receives from his assistants a
verbal report rs to the condition OF every
inmate in the building, and that he has
no reason to believe the least substance OF
a great deal of the testimony heretofore
produced. lie said that the reason he sent
his sons for patients Oftener than any one else
was that he knew he could trust them to
a greater capacity, and that the little mite
of laundry work that was done for them at
the Hospital was done because they helped
him in making out reports, and acting as
Secretaries, generally. DR. Bland and his
friends are not afraid OF change, in tue
least.
Mr.. Curtin, an attendant was called to
the stand this morning, and said He did
think the condition OF the Hospital could
be improved.
Mr.. Alf Smith, OF Willow Grove, testi-
fed To Bland S yeracity as Superintendent,
and that he knew OF no failure in perform
ing his duty while he Smith was on the
Beard. MIR Smith also says He could
ALWAYS hear more in town than he could
at the Hospital about its management.
Mr.. Hale, the former beef contractor was
next called and told the Committee that
Mitchell had never received any beef from
him, rs q bribe to procure favorable in
spectIOn.
MT. Hale, alSo SIdlSu tl't III hiS "Pi"'V"
the institution was run much better now
than under the former administration but
ifthe appointment had been left to him he
would not choose DIR. Bland, or any one
else in the State, giving for his reason
that it requireSa model man to run it and
in his Judgment one was not to be found in
the State. Mr.. Hale was one of the Board
under Hills administration.

MIR. Davis Going to Charleston.


Specidi telegram 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February IL
There is a rumOr here tonight that eX-Sen-
atOr Henry G. Davis left Baltimore this
morning for Charleston. This would in-
dicate that the ex-senator is taking more
interest in the contest now going on at
Charleston than his friends and even Mr..
Davis himself will admit. The friends OF
Mr.. Camden have all along been appre-
hensiye that Mr.. Davis has not been as
anxious for Mr.. Camden's reelection as
his oft repeated assertions might indicate.
In every interview the REGISTER repre-
sentative has had with Mr.. Davis, how
ever, he has protested that he is sincerely
anxious for Mr. Camden's success, but his
departure for the permanent seat has ere,
ated something of hutter among the adj
herents of Senator Camden.

NO FEDERAL AID.
The Presidents Veto of the Texas See
Bill Sustained.

The Presidents Veto of the Texas Seed
BiIl Sustained.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., February 1.-THE
Speaker to-day laid before the House the
message from the President, returning
without his approval the bill appropriating
so, 600 for special distribution of seed
to the drought-stricken counties of Texas.
The President, in his usual terSe and Wig
Orous manner, plants himself squarely
upon the constitutionality of the PROPOSE
tiOn, and holds that ne can find nothing in
the Constitution that warrants the general
Government in making appropriations for
private purposes.
Mr.. I.anham, Of Texas, moved that the
bill and accompanying message he referred
b. the Committee on Agriculture. lhas-
much, he said, as he had introduced this
bill, he was unwilling 10 let the occasion
pass without saying word in vindlcatI0D
of the action of Congress in passing this
measure. In doing 50, it followed the
precedents established in 1S75 and in 1883
when bills of similar character were
passed by Congress and became laws. IL
the organization of the Department
of Agriculture were constitutional; if
seeds could be distributed for the de-
clare object of promoting agriculture;
il the agricultural interest was continental
in its character, then the needs of agricul-
ture should he considered in rank to any
other requirement Of the Government.
When the Government was accustomed Ia
make general distribution of seed, it did
not seem unconstitutional to concentrate
that distribution in a particular locality
where the need was the greatest. The
motion to refer was lost-57 to "a.
The question was then put, Would
the House pass the bill, the President
objections to the contrary nOtwithstaDd-
ing:n and it was decided in the negative
yeas, 50, nays 100.

the purposes OF personal party machinery?
it will not do TO say to those who occupied
positions of prominence commanding in
tiuence IF you secure the appointment
of your friends we will accuse you of set
ting up political machinery" and ''lt
you secure the appointment of ours, we
will do the self-same identical thing. "
Heads, win-tails, you lose" is not a
legitimate axiom either in morals or pol
iticS.
We will be grossly misunderstood in
these utterances if any Democrat in or
out of the Legislature regard them as
prompted by other than kindly spirit.
We will be equally misunderstood if any
regard US aS undertaking to assert
that our Senators or either of them is inial-
hble. We belong to no man and to no set
of Iuen, but We do belong to the Demo
cratic party. We speak from standpoint
of common good, patriotic government and
not unmindful, We trust, of the value of
the agency of the organized Democracy to
accomplish these ends. Let our friends at
Charleston realize that
WHERE SOMEBODY MUST YIELD
the minority can best afford to do it; that
where criticism is involved it must be Just
and not 4 product of haste, that no man in
any station or rank in life can please every
body and that spirit of brotherhood and
unity in the ranks of the Democracy, even
with the present imaginary or real griev-
ances will do more to bring about just re-
suits than all else combined. The integrity
and organization of the Democratic party
must be protected. Defeat is one thing.
1t has proven since the foundation of the
government, from whatever cause it ema-
mated, to be temporary and transient to
the Democracy. DisintegratiOn, however,
is another thing, and the surrender of the
majority of the party would mean that dis
Indignation. Thus whether over a stTug-
gle for office, rivalry in the party, or from
whatever cause, wOuld be disastrous aud
permanent.
Let us dwell together in unity. If one
has to yield to accomplish that object, an
other will have to yield hereafter.
GOVERNOR WILSON.
On the nomination of +. Willis Wilson
for Governor in ls5I. our Senators and
their friends cheerfully acquiesced. They
supported and labCred for his success.
They raised funds to organize the party TO
bring it about. They were not accused of
prOstituting or demOralizing the masses
with money then. They spent no dollar
as far as we know, nor caused one to be
spent otherwise than legitimately, but
they acguicsced in the will of the majority
and stood shOnller In shoulder They
may have similar experience hereafter. So
may any ofus. When We arei in maiOrity.we
may expect reasonably and fairly to control.
When we are in the minority we forfeit
nothing of manhood, OF decency or of honor
by respecting the methods which our
fathers handed down to us. They form the
common store Of American independence,
the watchwOrd of American glory, the
keystone of the arch of prosperity and
to our institutions and they are
epitOmised in the one Cardinal principle,
that THE MAJORITY SHALL RULE.
